The throttle on the right handlebar is a distinctive
feature of your Vectrix. The throttle is the user
interface which determines forward motion as
well as implementing regenerative (regen) braking
and the reverse feature. The bi-directional throttle
is very simple to use.
Roll the throttle downward (rearward) to
n
accelerate in the forward direction. (A)
Release the throttle and it returns to a neutral
n
position.
To activate regenerative braking simply roll the
n
throttle forward beyond the neutral position and
you will progressively engage in regenerative
braking. (B) Always 'cover' the front brake lever
with the index and middle fingers of your right
hand when using regenerative braking to slow
the vehicle. This will ensure that you are ready
to apply the front brake if it becomes necessary
to slow the vehicle more quickly. Never use the
rear brake lever (on the left handlebar) by itself
or with regenerative braking without also using
the front brake lever (on the right handlebar).
Using only the rear brake may result in the rear
tire sliding, particularly when regen is used.
Be ready to pull both the front and rear brake
